Editor's Note: The Zoning Map is on file in the office
of the Township Clerk and is available for inspection during regular
business hours. A list of Zoning Map amendments is included at the
end of this chapter.

Zone district boundary lines are intended to follow street center
lines, streams and lot or property lines unless otherwise indicated
by dimensions on the Zoning Map. Any dimensions shown shall be in
feet, measured horizontally and measured from the street right-of-way
line even if the center line of that street serves as a zone district
line. The location of any disputed zone district line shall be determined
by the Board of Adjustment, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-70b. Zone
district lines extend vertically in both directions from ground level.

Where such boundaries are not fixed by dimensions and where they
approximately follow lot lines and where they do not scale more than
25 feet distant therefrom, such lot lines shall be construed to be
such boundaries unless specifically shown otherwise.

Continuance. Except as otherwise provided herein, the lawful use
of land or buildings existing at the date of the adoption or amendment
of this chapter may be continued, although such use or building does
not conform to the regulations specified by this chapter for the zone
in which such land or building is located; provided, however, that:

Nonconforming structures located on property within the R-S
Zone District and which contain a single-family detached dwelling
may be removed and replaced, provided that all of the following conditions
are met:

Verification of the nonconformity must be either through documentation
of the existing structure on the most recent tax assessment record
card dated on or before December 31, 2006, or by submission of a property
survey, indicating the existing structure, where such survey is dated
on or before December 31, 2006, and the nonconforming structure must
exist on the property at the time of application for removal and replacement.

The size and location of the nonconforming structure
must be an exact replacement; except that the nonconforming structure
may be reduced in size, provided the resulting structure does not
further violate provisions of this chapter. No nonconforming structure,
if replaced at a reduced size, may then be changed back to the original
size which existed before the replacement.

In the event of the destruction of a nonconforming
structure by reason of windstorm, fire, explosion or other act of
God or the public enemy, application to replace the structure must
be made within one year of the date of destruction. Verification of
the destruction of the nonconforming structure, in the form of a police
report, fire report, insurance claim or other document acceptable
to the Construction Official, must be submitted with the application
for removal and replacement.

Abandonment. A nonconforming use shall be adjudged abandoned when
there occurs a cessation of any such use or activity for a continuous
period of one year. Such use shall not thereafter be reinstated, and
the structure shall not be reoccupied except in conformance with this
chapter.

Any nonconforming building may be restored or repaired in the event
of partial destruction by reason of windstorm, fire, explosion or
other act of God or the public enemy. If any nonconforming building
erected prior to January 1, 2001, shall be destroyed by reason of
windstorm, fire, explosion or other act of God or the public enemy
to the extent that such destruction is deemed to be complete destruction,
then such building may be rebuilt, restored or repaired, provided
that proof of the existence and date of erection of such building
shall be by location on a survey dated prior to January 1, 2001, on
records of the Township of Teaneck or through the submission of an
affidavit by the property owner and at least one adjacent property
owner stating that the building existed prior to January 1, 2001,
and that they owned their respective properties prior to January 1,
2001. If any other nonconforming building shall be destroyed by reason
of windstorm, fire, explosion or other act of God or the public enemy
to the extent that such destruction is deemed to be complete destruction,
then such building may not be rebuilt, restored or repaired, except
in conformity with the regulations of this chapter. The Township Construction
Official shall apply the laws of the State of New Jersey, including
relevant case law, in determining whether such destruction is partial
or complete.

If any nonconforming building shall be demolished or removed to effectuate
a proposed construction project to an extent of more than 60% of its
gross total building volume, then the building may not be rebuilt
or restored except in conformity with the regulations of this chapter.

For purposes of this section, total building volume shall not include
the volume of nonhabitable crawlspaces located below the floor level
of the first habitable floor, the volume of nonhabitable attics measured
above the attic floor structure, and the volume of the nonhabitable
portion of detached garages.

Certain additions to nonconforming lots and structures. On a corner lot, an air-conditioner compressor or similar structure furnishing central air conditioning to a single-family dwelling or two-family dwelling may be installed in the side yard abutting the intersecting street, if it cannot be installed at any other location without violating minimum side yard requirements, but only if it exhausts vertically. On an interior lot, an air-conditioner compressor as aforesaid may be installed in the front yard, subject to the foregoing provisions and further provision that it be screened in accordance with Section 33-15, Subsection (s).

Building lots of record in R-S District. In cases where an owner
of a lot in the R-S District, approved as a building lot subdivision
under the Planning Act of 1953, can utilize the lot for the uses permitted
and comply with all district requirements except area and frontage,
and the merger provisions hereinafter set forth do not apply, and
nothing has been done by the owner or predecessors in title to destroy
the distinct identity of the lot as a building site, the lot may be
utilized without obtaining a variance; provided, however, that no
lot of less than 5,000 square feet in area or fifty-foot frontage
shall be so used.

Merger. In the case of any lot which is deficient in area or width
by the terms of this chapter, the rights acquired or existing therein
to use the lot as a building site shall terminate and become nonexistent
and void should the deficient lot merge in fee with any adjoining
vacant lot abutting on the same street. A merger shall be deemed to
have occurred if the same person or persons have equitable or legal
ownership of both lots.

Principal use; frontage upon an improved street. Not more than one
principal building shall be located on a lot, except those buildings
that comprise a planned development, as in the redevelopment districts.
No lot may be developed unless it fronts upon an improved public street,
except for lots in a planned development, as in the redevelopment
districts.

It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer to administer and enforce
the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance, and no building permit or
zoning permit shall be issued unless the proposed structure, use,
awning, canopy, temporary activity or construction activity complies
with this chapter.

In case any building or structure is erected, altered, converted
or maintained or any building, structure or land is used in violation
of this chapter, the Township or an interested party, in addition
to other remedies, may institute appropriate action to prevent such
unlawful erection, alteration, conversion, maintenance or use; to
restrain, correct or abate such violation; to prevent the occupancy
of said building, structure or land; and to prevent any illegal act,
conduct, business or use in or about such premises. Any person convicted
of such violations before a court of competent jurisdiction shall
be subject to a penalty not to exceed the maximum amount permitted
under N.J.S.A. 40:49-5 and as amended hereafter, and/or 90 days in
jail. Each day that a violation of this section continues shall be
deemed a separate and distinct violation.

A zoning permit shall be required as a condition precedent to the
commencement of a use, or change of use, or the erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration, conversion or installation of a structure
or building, excluding fences and sheds. As used herein, "change of
use" shall be deemed to include any change in the utilization of a
building or lot or part thereof where the resulting use is subject
to bulk, dimensional, special or other zoning regulations which are
different than those impressed upon the prior use.

A zoning permit shall be issued by the Zoning Officer when all requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance have been met. After a change of use has been
made on a lot or in a building or structure, a zoning permit shall
be required and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued without
the required zoning permit.

The number of occupants or employees, maximum number of parking
spaces available, number of tenants (if the building is to be multitenanted)
and the total square footage of the building or lot, if there is no
building.

When a building, structure or lot is entitled to a zoning permit,
the Zoning Officer shall cause it to be issued within 10 days after
written application therefor. A zoning permit shall certify the purpose
for which the building, structure or lot may be used. It shall specify
the permitted use category, the date of issuance and any special stipulations
and conditions of the permit. The Zoning Officer shall affix his signature
thereto and shall certify that such use, structure or building complies
with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance or any variance therefrom
duly authorized by a municipal approving authority.

Issuance of permits; official map. For the purpose of preserving
the integrity of the Official Map, no permit shall be issued for any
building or structure in the bed of any street or public drainageway,
flood control basin or public area reserved pursuant to law as shown
on the Official Map, except as provided in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-34.

In the case of an entering street which does not continue through
the opposite side, the street block shall include both sides of the
street measured from the center line of the entering street to the
center line of the next street intersection.

For the purposes of determining permissible deviation from lot width
standards, in the case of an entering street which does not continue
through the opposite side and in the event that the center line of
the entering street intersects a lot on the opposite side, the lot
shall be deemed included within the street block on both sides of
the center line of the entering street.

Yard width or setback requirements. Except in the redevelopment districts
which are subject to special criteria set forth in this chapter, a
principal building shall meet the minimum front yard setback requirements
of the district from both streets, and, if the lot is in the R-S,
B-2 or L-I District and the street block includes another district
with greater front setback requirements, the principal building shall
also comply with the greater setback requirement. The remaining property
lines shall be considered side yard lines and the building shall comply
with the minimum side yard requirements for the district in which
the lot is located with respect to those side yards.

R-S District. The developer shall have the option of designating
which street line shall be the front line of the lot, at the time
application is made for a building permit. Failing said designation,
the Zoning Officer shall establish the front line.

R-M District. If the street lines of the corner lot vary in
length, the lot shall be deemed to front upon the street line of greater
length. If the street lines are of equal length, the developer shall
have the option of designating which street line shall be the front
line of the lot, at the time application is made for a building permit.
Failing said designation, the Zoning Officer shall establish the front
line.

B-1, B-2, B-R and L-I Districts. The front line shall be on
the street whereon over 50% of the lots on the street block are in
the same zoning district as the subject corner lot. If both streets
so comply, the front line shall be on the street designated on the
Official Map as a secondary arterial street, or failing same, as a
collector street. If both streets are so designated, the developer
shall have the option of designating which street line shall be the
front line of the lot, at the time application is made for a building
permit. Failing said designation, the Zoning Officer shall establish
the front line.

An open platform or a roofed-over but unenclosed projection in the
nature of an entry or portico, not more than eight feet wide and extending
not more than six feet out from the front wall of the building and
front entry steps leading from the front door down to grade, shall
be exempt from the requirements of this section when the building
otherwise complies with the regulations of this section. In computing
the average setback, the presence of such entries, porticos and platforms
shall be ignored. Chimneys extending not more than 18 inches into
the existing side yard shall be exempt from the requirements of this
section.

An open platform or a roofed-over but unenclosed projection in the
nature of an entry or portico, not more than four feet wide and extending
not more than four feet out from the side wall of the building and
side entry steps leading from the side door down to grade, shall be
exempt from the requirements of this section when the building otherwise
complies with the regulations of this section. The open platform may
be a maximum of 32 inches above the adjacent grade.

Safety railings, surrounding basement emergency escape and rescue
bulkhead enclosures, basement garage retaining walls and basement
access stairs, as accessory structures to one-family and two-family
detached dwellings, in accordance with the following provisions, may
be placed within any yard area:

The safety railing must contain an access gate that shall be
releasable or removable from the inside without the use of a key,
tool, special knowledge or force greater than that which is required
for normal operation of the escape and rescue opening.

Definition. The Hackensack River buffer is defined as all that
land a distance of 50 feet from the mean high water line as determined
by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. In the event the mean
high water mark has not been determined by the United States Army
Corps of Engineers, then the mean high water mark elevation as shown
upon the Township Tax Assessment Maps shall be used.

Residential dwellings except in the RR-M District. At least 51% of
the length of the roof ridge must have at least a twenty-two-foot
height above the average ground level on three sides of the building.
Where the ridge height of a split-level dwelling is measured from
the ground level, the dwelling shall have a second floor ceiling with
a minimum height of seven feet six inches.

Exceptions in all districts. The height limitations of this chapter shall not apply to silos, church spires, belfries, cupolas, mechanical penthouses and domes not used for human occupancy; nor to chimneys, ventilators, skylights, water tanks, bulkheads, television antennas and, except as hereinafter limited, necessary mechanical appurtenances usually carried above the roof level. Such features, however, shall be erected only to such height as is necessary to accomplish the purpose they are to serve. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to prevent the erection of a parapet wall above the building height limit, provided that the same does not exceed 42 inches and is without windows. All appurtenances shall be screened in accordance with the standards and specifications of Section 33-15(s). Necessary mechanical appurtenances either in excess of 100 square feet on any side or greater than eight feet in height shall not be exempt from the height limitations of this chapter, except that elevator penthouses and stair bulkheads are exempt notwithstanding their size, and except for necessary mechanical appurtenances in the RC-1, RC-2 and RC-3 Districts.

The bottom of the awning and the bottom of the horizontal plane
of the canopy shall be not less than eight feet above grade, and the
top of the awning or canopy shall be no higher than 12 feet above
grade.

They shall be constructed of weather-resistant, matte acrylic material
that will not readily tear and shall be securely affixed so that they
will not readily become detached from the structure to which they
are accessory.

Accessory uses. A condition qualifying the location or operation
of a permitted accessory use may be waived or modified by variance.
This shall not be deemed to allow an accessory use in a district which
does not permit same.

Conditional uses. A condition qualifying the location or operation
of a permitted conditional use may be waived or modified by the Planning
Board, if permitted by law, based upon the following determination:

The condition or conditions that cannot be adhered to can be waived
or modified without adverse effect to the surrounding neighborhood
and without substantial impairment or interference with the proposed
use; and

Notwithstanding anything contained in this chapter to the contrary,
in the event a property owner of a single-family or two-family dwelling
requires the addition of a handicap ramp for wheelchair access to
the property owner's dwelling for use by a person(s) residing
therein, such property owner is required to obtain a zoning permit
and a building permit, as applicable. It is acknowledged that not
all such ramps would violate the bulk requirements of a zone and,
as such, not all such ramps would require a variance. However, where
such a proposed ramp does violate a bulk requirement of the zone,
in addition to the requirement of a building permit, the applicant
must also obtain a handicapped ramp license from the Building Department
and, in doing so, may be exempt from having to obtain a variance if
the following is provided with the application for the building permit:

A certification from a licensed architect that there are no reasonable
means of access to and from the dwelling without the use of a handicap
ramp. For purposes of this section, "reasonable means" shall not be
deemed to include the installation of an outdoor wheelchair lift.

Upon approval of the plans and issuance of the building permit,
a handicapped ramp license for the ramp shall be issued, which license
shall expire one year from the date of issuance.

Prior to the expiration of any handicapped ramp license, the holder
of the license may apply to the Building Department for a renewal
of same, which application for renewal shall include an updated certification
from a licensed physician that the person must be in a wheelchair
during ingress and egress from the dwelling. The license may be annually
renewed until the ramp is no longer required by the property owner.

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, upon the
change of occupancy of any building, a renewal license must be sought
by the new occupant regardless of any unexpired term of an existing
handicapped ramp license.

Permit required. No person, firm, partnership, corporation, association
or organization of any kind (hereinafter referred to as "person")
shall construct or install any temporary toilet facility upon any
property within the Township of Teaneck without first obtaining a
permit issued by the Zoning Officer, or his designee, as provided
herein.

Before any temporary toilet facility shall be placed upon any property
within the Township of Teaneck, the person desiring to construct or
install the temporary toilet facility shall make application for a
permit, in writing, to the Building Department. The application shall
contain or have attached thereto the following information:

The name, address and telephone number of the company or firm
supplying the temporary toilet facility, the number of units to be
used on the property, the date ofconstruction or installation, the
frequency of servicing of the units and the proposed date of removal
of the temporary toilet facilities.

A site plan indicating the proposed location of each temporary
toilet facility on the subject property. The site plan shall indicate
all improvements current at the time of application and the dimensional
setback from each temporary toilet facility to property lines. In
the case of a construction project, the site plan shall indicate all
proposed improvements.

The Zoning Official, or his designee, will review the application
for completeness and conformance with the terms of this subsection
and will either approve or deny the application within 10 business
days from the date of submission of the application.

Temporary toilet facilities, utilized within the R-S Zone District
and located within a required front yard area, shall have a minimum
setback of five feet from the front property line and a minimum setback
of 10 feet from the side property lines.

Temporary toilet facilities, utilized within all zone districts
other than the R-S Zone District, shall be located within the required
rear yard area and shall conform to the setback requirements for accessory
structures.

Any person who violates any provision of this subsection shall, upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not to exceed $500. A separate
offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a
violation occurs or continues.

Home occupation, provided that no more than three business invitees
shall be on the premises at any one time, except in the case of a
day-care facility; that shipments and deliveries to and from the home
are limited to no more than two times per calendar week by vehicles
whose maximum cargo load shall not exceed 5,000 pounds (i.e., cube
vans or box vans); and that the business is restricted to one room
of the house in the principal living space.

Swimming pool installed and used in accordance with Chapter 34 of the Township Code and all other health, safety and development ordinances which relate to water filtration, circulation and treatment; fencing; noise control; and lighting.

The accommodations for said boarders or roomers shall not be
structurally separated from the living quarters of the owner-occupant
by a separate outside entranceway or by an internal partition, other
than a door separating the sleeping accommodations of the roomer or
boarder from the rest of the dwelling.

They shall be set back from side and rear property lines a minimum
of the height of backstops and sidestops, but not less than eight
feet. Said backstops and sidestops shall not exceed 12 feet in height.

No artificial lighting shall be maintained or operated in connection with any tennis court after 10:00 p.m., and loud and unnecessary noises shall be prohibited and enforced under the Health and Sanitation Code, Section 21-15, and any other appropriate ordinances.

The satellite antenna shall be used for receiving signals only;
transmission is prohibited. The installation shall be for the benefit
of the residents of the dwelling and not for the benefit of off-site
users.

Installation may be either on the roof or on the ground. In
both cases, the installation shall be adequately screened to minimize
visibility from adjacent properties. If ground-mounted, the apparatus
shall not be located in any front yard or side yard and shall not
exceed the height of the principal building located on the lot. The
permit application shall be accompanied by a screening plan and, for
roof-mounted antennas, written certification from a structural professional
engineer that the installation will be resistant to a one-hundred-mile-per-hour
wind.

The height of the apparatus (including antenna supports) shall
not exceed nine feet. The surface area of the reflective dish shall
not exceed 50 square feet, and the diameter of the reflective dish
shall not exceed eight feet.

Other accessory uses customarily associated with single-family dwellings,
provided that such uses are subordinate to the principal use, do not
change the character of the principal use and serve only the principal
use.

7,500 square feet or the average of the areas of lots fronting
on both sides of the street to the nearest intersections, whichever
is greater

Lot width

75 feet

Front yard setback

25 feet, or the average of existing setbacks along the same
side of the street of two lots to the left and two lots to the right
of the property proposed to be developed, whichever is greater. In
the event that there are fewer than two lots to either side of the
lot to be developed, then a total of four lots shall be used in the
calculation of the average setback. In the event that there are fewer
than five lots along the street block, then all lots shall be used
in the calculation of the average setback.

Permissible deviation from lot coverage standard. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a lot with less than a sixty-foot frontage and containing
a lot area not exceeding 6,000 square feet and where there exists
a detached garage located within the rear yard, the lot coverage of
the driveway area only shall be calculated as follows:

Unless otherwise specified herein, an accessory structure which
is attached to a single-family dwelling shall comply with the yard
requirements for the principal dwelling. A detached accessory structure
shall be located behind the front building line of the principal dwelling.

If located in a side yard, it shall conform to
the side yard requirements for the principal dwelling. If located
in a rear yard, it shall be located no closer to the rear property
line than the height of the accessory structure or 12 feet, whichever
is less, except that storage sheds and detached garages may be located
no closer than three feet to the rear and side property line. All
accessory structures, other than in-ground swimming pools, shall occupy
no more than 20% of the rear property area. If located in a side yard
of a corner lot, storage sheds and detached garages shall be set back
a minimum of 50% of the lot depth from each respective street line
and may be located no closer than three feet to either side property
line.

Swimming pools. A swimming pool shall be located no closer than eight
feet to a rear or side property line, measured from the nearest waterline
of the pool to the respective property line of the property. It shall
be located no closer than five feet to the principal dwelling or any
accessory structure.

Generators within the side yard shall be set back a minimum
of five feet from the side property line. Routine testing of such
generators shall only be conducted between the hours of 9:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m.

The recreational vehicle is located no closer than two feet
to any building or structure or to any property line and, if a corner
lot, is located no closer to the secondary street than the required
building setback line from said secondary street.

A two-inch-caliper deciduous tree is installed between the vehicle
and the property line for each 13 feet of vehicle length or portion
thereof. This requirement may be waived by the Zoning Officer if the
Zoning Officer determines that existing trees satisfy the requirements
of this section.

Front yard parking or placement prohibited. No permanent pool, motor
vehicle or recreational vehicle shall be permitted in a front yard,
except that, subject to the extended parking requirements of Subsection
(a)(5)c above, motor vehicles and recreational vehicles which do not
exceed 25 feet in length may be parked in a driveway. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to permit open parking or placement of a
motor vehicle or recreational vehicle which is in a state of disrepair
or partial construction.

Commercial vehicles. As used herein, "commercial vehicle" shall mean
a motor vehicle designed for and adapted to commercial purposes, regardless
of the use of such vehicle at any particular time. A vehicle bearing
a commercial legend, name or other form of advertising on its body
and/or displaying commercial plates shall be deemed to be a commercial
vehicle. No commercial vehicle greater than 20 feet in length or 6 1/2
feet in height shall be parked out of doors in the R-S District at
any time unless its operator is in the process of rendering the commercial
service and the vehicle is parked only for the duration of such service.
No more than one commercial vehicle of less than 6,500 pounds gross
vehicle weight in capacity may be garaged on a lot in the R-S District.
No commercial vehicle of 6,500 pounds gross vehicle weight in capacity
or greater rated capacity may be garaged in the R-S District. Commercial
vehicles 20 feet in length or less or 6 1/2 feet in height or
less, if not garaged or otherwise parked under cover or if not in
the process of rendering a commercial service and parked only for
the duration of such service may be parked out of doors in the R-S
District, provided that all commercial writing on the vehicle is covered
by an opaque, closely fitted screen, made of durable material, and
further provided that the vehicle is parked in the driveway.

Improved surfaces, including but not limited to asphalt, concrete
and concrete pavers, are prohibited in any side yard, except as a
walkway or driveway. Any such permitted driveway must provide ingress
to and egress from an attached garage, detached garage or parking
space in the rear yard and shall be no wider than 12 feet. Any such
permitted walkway shall be no wider than three feet. Only one such
driveway and one such walkway shall be permitted in a side yard. There
shall be a separation between any such driveway and walkway of two
feet of unimproved area or if placed adjacent to each other a height
difference of six inches.

Improved surfaces, including but not limited to asphalt, concrete
and concrete pavers, in excess of 12 feet in width may be located
within a side yard, provided all of the following conditions are met:

The improved surface must be used as a vehicle maneuvering area
and lead to an enclosed garage space within the principal dwelling.
The enclosed garage space must accommodate a minimum of one vehicle
and a maximum of three vehicles.

A six-foot-high, solid fence shall be installed
along the side property line for the full length of the maneuvering
area. A native deciduous tree of a type approved by the Township,
minimum two-inch caliper, shall be planted between the maneuvering
area and the side property line for each garaged vehicle space. Any
tree installed as a requirement of this section shall be maintained
by the property owner for as long as the maneuvering area remains
in place.

On corner lots only, improved surfaces, including but not limited
to asphalt, concrete and concrete pavers, may be located within a
side yard. Except for driveways and walkways, such improved surfaces
must be set back a minimum of 50% of the lot depth from each respective
street line.

Permitted accessory uses. The same as specified in the R-S District,
except that there shall be no more than one satellite antenna per
residential multifamily building, and not per lot, regardless of the
number of buildings per lot.

Offices, financial institutions and business schools; provided, however,
that offices and business schools shall not be permitted on the first
floor along Cedar Lane frontage between Elm Street and the railroad.

Frontage on Beverly Road. Within 100 feet of the street line of Beverly Road, between Garrison Avenue and Elm Avenue, the only nonresidential permitted use shall be off-street parking accessory to a building with frontage on Cedar Lane, and a buffer area and screening shall be provided in accordance with the standards and specifications of Section 33-15, Subsection (s).

Installation may be either on the roof or on the ground. In both
cases, the installation shall be adequately screened to minimize visibility
from adjacent properties. If ground-mounted, the apparatus shall not
be located in any front yard or side yard and shall not exceed the
height of the principal building located on the lot. The permit application
shall be accompanied by a screening plan and, for roof-mounted antennas,
written certification from a structural professional engineer that
the installation will be resistant to a one-hundred-forty-mile-per-hour
wind.

The height of the apparatus (including antenna supports) shall not
exceed 20 feet. The surface area of the reflective dish shall not
exceed 200 square feet, and the diameter of the reflective dish shall
not exceed 16 feet.

The minimum front yard setback for a building up to 35 feet in height
shall be 2/3 of the height of the building, to the nearest foot. For
a building greater than 35 feet in height, the minimum front yard
setback shall be 23 feet plus one foot for each foot or fraction thereof
of building height in excess of 35 feet. In no case, however, shall
the front building line be closer to the street line than the average
of existing front yard setbacks along the same side of the street
to the nearest intersections.

Installation may be either on the roof or on the ground. In both
cases, the installation shall be adequately screened to minimize visibility
from adjacent properties. If ground-mounted, the apparatus shall not
be located in any front yard or side yard and shall not exceed the
height of the principal building located on the lot. The permit application
shall be accompanied by a screening plan and, for roof-mounted antennas,
written certification from a structural professional engineer that
the installation will be resistant to a one-hundred-mile-per-hour
wind.

The height of the apparatus (including antenna supports) shall not
exceed 20 feet. The surface area of the reflective dish shall not
exceed 200 square feet, and the diameter of the reflective dish shall
not exceed 16 feet.

All permitted commercial and industrial activities and processes shall take place within an enclosed building, except that receiving and shipping may be conducted from an unenclosed loading dock or platform. Incidental storage out-of-doors shall be buffered and screened from public streets and adjacent residential districts, if any, in accordance with the standards and specifications of Section 33-15(s).

The minimum front yard setback for a building up to 35 feet in height
shall be 2/3 of the height of the building, to the nearest foot. For
a building greater than 35 feet in height, the minimum front yard
setback shall be 23 feet plus one foot for each foot or fraction thereof
of building height in excess of 35 feet. In no case, however, shall
the front building line be closer to the street line than the average
of existing front yard setbacks along the same side of the street
to the nearest intersections.

Permitted accessory uses. Hospital-related facilities, including
chapels, training schools for professional personnel and trainees,
but excluding institutions exclusively for mental patients or drug
addicts and excluding medical and dental offices or clinics which
are operated, in whole or in part, for profit by medical or dental
practitioners.

Municipal, county, state and federal buildings and uses, subject to the conditions for the conditional uses provided by Section 33-25, and except as specifically prohibited within this section and Section 33-26 of this chapter;

Off-street parking, loading and unloading in accordance with Section 33-28 of this chapter. If the subject property abuts a residential zoning district, a buffer and screening shall be provided in accordance with the standards and specifications of Section 33-15(s).

Purpose. The purpose of this district is to restrict development
on public lands which are in use as schools, administrative facilities,
parking lots, libraries and other public buildings and structures.

Permitted use: garden apartment housing especially designed and constructed
for the use of senior citizens, persons with disabilities and their
families. For the purposes hereof, this shall include families in
which the head of the household or his or her spouse is a senior citizen
or an individual with disabilities, as well as single senior citizens
and individuals with disabilities.

Permitted accessory uses. Accessory buildings and uses customarily
incidental to the permitted use, and necessary or appropriate for
the benefit and well-being of the residents, including recreational
and cultural facilities and community cooking facilities sufficient
in size and scope to adequately provide for residents and their guests.

Parking. Parking spaces shall be provided in a ratio of 0.4 space
for the first bedroom and 0.4 space for each additional bedroom of
each dwelling unit, conveniently located with respect to dwelling
units.

Other provisions and requirements. All design and development shall
comply with applicable minimum standards as promulgated by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development, or any successor
agency, as well as with the rules and regulations set by any agency
or agencies of the State of New Jersey having jurisdiction thereof.

Dwelling requirements. At least 51% of the length of the roof ridge
must have at least a twenty-two-foot height above the average ground
level on three sides of the building, with a minimum height of 17
feet above the average ground level.

Height: 35 feet or three stories, whichever is lesser, measured
from the lowest grade to the midpoint of any sloping roof with a pitch
of at least 6 on 12, or to the top of the roof in all other cases.

No building shall contain more than two dwelling units in a
straight unbroken row, and the exterior wall of each such building
shall include a setback or break with a depth of not less than four
feet after every two dwelling units.

For each eight market-rate units provided, one affordable housing
unit, as said term is defined under FHA and COAH rules, shall be provided
within the development and, from the exterior, shall be no different
in appearance than a market-rate unit.

Such units shall meet the affordability requirements per COAH's
rules and policies, including, but not limited to, phasing, bedroom
distribution, controls on affordability, range of affordability, affirmative
marketing, and income qualification.

When a project provides a minimum of five units or, after dividing
the total number of units by eight, leaves a remainder of five or
more units, an additional inclusionary affordable housing unit shall
be provided. In the case where the number of units is four or less,
or if the total number of units divided by eight leaves a remainder
of four or less, a pro-rata contribution in lieu of providing such
a unit shall be paid into the Township's Affordable Housing Trust
Fund, for the purposes of providing affordable housing either elsewhere
in Teaneck or for other affordable housing purposes.

The primary entry to a dwelling should be emphasized through
stairs and a porch, crown, overhang, projecting bay, or other element
that provides shelter at the doorway. Unadorned entries that are flush
and "punched out" of the facade are discouraged. Examples of methods
to highlight an entry are:

Standalone full-height columns flanking an entry
are only appropriate in combination with symmetrical facade design,
vertically proportioned windows with shutters, and an entry porch
spanning the full height and/or the full width of the building. Such
columns should not be of brick.

Palladian windows, rounded top windows, or round-top
arches over windows are permitted only if the entire window is contained
within one story. Such windows may not project into the eave or cornice
line of the roof, or into the floors above.

Horizontally proportioned windows are discouraged.
To create a wider expanse of windows, vertically proportioned windows
may be paired or tripled side-by-side, but only with a dividing structural
member between each window.

Windows with multipane glazing are encouraged,
but only with true divided panes with mullions and muntins that cast
a shadow on the glass. Panes may be either on both the top and bottom
half, or just on the top half of window.

Windows should not project above the cornice line
of each story or into the gabled roof line. An extension of windows
into the floor above, mimicking a dormer window, is strongly discouraged
because this implies one tall loft-style floor rather than a separate
floor or attic space. Distinct dormer windows that suggest a separate
(typically third) floor are encouraged.

Finished materials should extend around all sides of the relevant
element of a building. Applications such as a short return around
corners give the appearance of pasted-on veneer and shall be avoided.
For example, a brick veneer should not be pasted onto a building with
wood sides.

A change in materials should be used to reflect or highlight
different massing elements; for example, a projection or a cross-gabled
bay may have a different material. Materials should not change between
floors without an intervening cornice, belt course, projecting eave,
or porch.

Permitted principal uses. The MX Zoning District is intended to encourage
retail sales and personal services and commercial offices, including
medical offices, oriented to pedestrian access and shopping on the
ground floor and residential uses on the upper floors. The following
principal uses shall be permitted in the MX-1 Zoning District:

Building height, principal building: 45 feet and three stories;
where a building or structure is immediately adjacent to a single-family
residential dwelling unit the maximum building height shall not exceed
35 feet and three stories.

Permitted principal uses. The MX Zoning District is intended to encourage
retail sales and personal services oriented to pedestrian shopping
on the ground floor, and other commercial activity and residential
uses on the upper floors. The following principal uses shall be permitted
in the MX - 2 Zoning District:

Front yard setback: 25 feet, or the average of existing setbacks
along the same side of the street within the block of two lots to
the left and two lots to the right of the property proposed to be
developed, whichever is greater. In the event that there are fewer
than two lots to either side of the lot to be developed within the
street block, then a total of four lots along the street block shall
be used in the calculation of the average setback. In the event that
there are fewer than four lots along the street block, then all lots
along the street block shall be used in the calculation of the average
setback.

Other. In all other respects, the requirements for development In
the MOR Medical Office Residential Overlay Zone shall be the same
as those required for the R-S Residential Single-Family Detached District.

Permitted principal uses. The principal uses permitted in this district,
in addition to those permitted in the underlying district, shall be
the same as those permitted in the Medical Office Residential Overlay
District (MOR).

Installation may be either on the roof or on the ground. In both
cases, the installation shall be adequately screened to minimize visibility
from adjacent properties. If ground-mounted, the apparatus shall not
be located in any front yard or side yard and shall not exceed the
height of the principal building located on the lot. The permit application
shall be accompanied by a screening plan and, for roof-mounted antennas,
written certification from a structural professional engineer that
the installation will be resistant to a one-hundred-mile-per-hour
wind.

The height of the apparatus (including antenna supports) shall not
exceed 20 feet. The surface area of the reflective dish shall not
exceed 200 square feet, and the diameter of the reflective dish shall
not exceed 16 feet.

A maximum of 10% of the total building area on the site may
extend to a height of 80 feet, provided that any portion of the building
which exceeds 44 feet in height is set back a minimum distance of
125 feet from any adjoining lot line.

All permitted commercial and industrial activities and processes shall take place within an enclosed building, except that receiving and shipping may be conducted from an unenclosed loading dock or platform. Incidental storage out-of-doors shall be buffered and screened from public streets and adjacent residential districts, if any, in accordance with the standards and specifications of Section 33-15(s).

The minimum front yard setback for a building up to 35 feet in height
shall be 2/3 of the height of the building, to the nearest foot. For
a building greater than 35 feet in height, the minimum front yard
setback shall be 23 feet plus one foot for each foot or fraction thereof
of building height in excess of 35 feet. In no case, however, shall
the front building line be closer to the street line than the average
of existing front yard setbacks along the same side of the street
to the nearest intersections.

No less than 20% of the total units shall be set aside for low- and
moderate-income households, with the income and bedroom distribution
in accordance with the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls (N.J.A.C.
5:80-26.1 et seq.).

Off-street parking shall be provided in accordance with the Residential
Site Improvement Standards, except that the Planning Board may grant
a de minimis exception to such standards upon a showing by the applicant
that fewer off-street parking spaces are required to meet the needs
of residents of this development. Such off-street parking may be provided
at grade with residential units on the second, third and fourth floors.

One two-sided monument sign, no greater than six feet in height,
and with a sign face of no greater than 16 square feet, with the name
of the project and the street number displayed, shall be permitted,
provided such sign is set back at least five feet from the front property
line.

A six-foot-high board-on-board fence of wood, simulated wood or PVC
shall be provided along all property lines bounded by residential
development. A four-foot-high board-on-board fence of the same material
and color as the aforementioned six-foot-high fence shall be provided
immediately adjacent to those off-street parking spaces which front
on Teaneck Road or Fort Lee Road.

A double row of evergreen trees shall be planted within 15 feet of
the side yard opposite Fort Lee Road, and within 10 feet of the side
yard opposite Teaneck Road, to further screen the project from the
adjacent properties. Trees shall be a minimum of six feet in height
upon planting and shall be planted 15 feet on center. An outdoor play
area or patio area for sitting shall be provided on site with a minimum
area of 500 square feet. The remainder of the lot which is not covered
by impervious paving shall be attractively landscaped with lawn, shrubs
and trees, including the front yard.

In addition, development in the R-AH District shall meet all of the other applicable requirements of Chapter 33, Development Regulations; except that where such standards conflict with those enumerated herein, the standards of the R-AH District shall apply.

A "public utility" shall be those activities and operations enumerated
in N.J.S.A. 48:2-13, under privileges granted by the State of New
Jersey or by any political subdivision thereof. Said public utilities
include but are not necessarily limited to transportation systems,
such as railroad and bus, gas, electric, water and sewer service,
solid waste collection and/or disposal, telephone and telegraph systems
and radio and television transmitting and receiving stations.

The approving authority shall determine that the proposed installation
is necessary and convenient for the efficiency of the public utility
system in the proposed location and that all other alternative locations
have been fully investigated and rejected.

Any adverse effects to the safety and aesthetics of the surrounding
neighborhood shall be effectively minimized by mechanical devices
and procedures and by sufficient fencing, landscaping and setbacks.

Child-care centers, public nursery schools and public and private
elementary and secondary schools. The following specifications and
standards shall apply to the development of child-care centers, public
nursery schools and public, parochial and private elementary and secondary
schools in a district which permits the same as a conditional use:

The foregoing requirements are deemed to be minimum requirements
and may be increased by the approving authority based upon the unavailability
of public transportation, the distances to be traveled by the student
population and, in the case of high school students, the percentage
of students driving their own motor vehicles.

Development shall be barred if any lot line of the proposed development
would be either within a one-thousand-foot linear zone or within a
two-hundred-fifty-foot perimeter zone, in which the lot line of an
existing child-care center, school, house of religious worship, nonprofit
recreational facility, public or private meeting hall or other place
of public assembly is also within said linear zone or perimeter zone.

As used herein, "linear zone shall mean both sides of the street
on which the proposed development will front, and, if the street terminates
less than one thousand feet in either direction, then the linear zone
shall include the balance of one thousand feet along the same street
course as if it were extended. If the street right-of-way changes
course and/or becomes another named street, the linear zone shall
continue into the new course or new street for the balance of the
linear distance.

As used herein, "perimeter zone" shall mean the area surrounding
the proposed development lot and parallel to the lot lines of the
proposed development.

For a child-care center, a landscaped buffer of not less than 25
feet in width from which parking is excluded shall be provided along
the rear boundary of the property, and a similar buffer of not less
than 15 feet in width, parking excluded, shall be provided along the
side yard boundaries.

The term "non-profit recreational facilities" shall mean buildings
and/or vacant lands either owned or operated by a nonprofit membership
organization and used for recreational purposes, such as a swim club,

two-hundred-fifty-foot perimeter zone, in which the lot line of an
existing child-care center, school, house of religious worship, nonprofit
recreational facility, public or private meeting hall or other place
of public assembly is also within said linear zone or perimeter zone.

As used herein, "linear zone" shall mean both sides of the street
on which the proposed development will front, and, if the street terminates
less than one thousand feet in either direction, then the linear zone
shall include the balance of one thousand feet along the same street
course as if it were extended. If the street right-of-way changes
course and/or becomes another named street, the linear zone shall
continue into the new course or new street for the balance of the
linear distance.

As used herein, "perimeter zone" shall mean the area surrounding
the proposed development lot and parallel to the lot lines of the
proposed development.

boundary of the property, and a similar buffer of not less than fifteen
feet in width, parking excluded, shall be provided along the side
yard boundaries of the property.

With respect to residences for the developmentally disabled (as defined
in N.J.S.A. 30:11B-2) and mentally ill (as defined in N.J.S.A. 30:4-23),
a conditional use permit may be denied if the number of developmentally
disabled and mentally ill persons resident in existing group care
housing in the Township exceeds fifty persons or five-tenths percent
of the population of the Township, at the time of the application.

In the case of group-care housing for the mentally ill, such residence
shall have been approved for a purchase of service contract or an
affiliation agreement pursuant to such procedures as shall be established
by the Division of Mental Health and Hospitals of the New Jersey Department
of Human Services.

All such group care housing shall comply with the zoning requirements
in the district in which it is located and for the type of housing
that it is, either single-family detached or single-family attached.

If such housing is not limited to persons residing in the Township,
the applicant shall so state to the approving authority and furnish
proof that residency in the facility cannot be limited to such persons.

Motor vehicle service stations and public garages. The following
specifications and standards shall apply to the development of motor
vehicle service stations and public garages in a district which permits
same as a conditional use:

Driveways shall cross the sidewalk at right angles and shall not
be more than thirty feet wide. Driveways shall be no less than ten
feet from any side lot line and no less than fifty feet from intersecting
street lines. No more than two driveways shall be permitted for each
one hundred feet of street frontage.

If the proposed development abuts a residential use or district,
a landscaped buffer of not less than 25 feet in width, from which
parking shall be excluded, shall be provided along each boundary that
abuts a residential use or district.

The use of a motor vehicle service station or public garage for overnight
parking of vehicles, other than vehicles owned by the proprietor or
employees thereof, shall be permitted, subject to the following requirements:

A zoning permit shall be obtained as provided in Section 33-23 hereof, except that the zoning permit shall expire every 12 months and shall be renewable annually. The Zoning Officer may decline to renew the zoning permit if he determines that a condition of the permit has been violated. Site plan approval shall not be required for the use of an existing motor vehicle service station or public garage for overnight parking of vehicles.

Home professional office. The following specifications and standards
shall apply to the development of a home professional office which
employs more than two persons other than the resident professional,
but no more than six such employees. If no more than two persons other
than the resident professional are employed, the use is a permitted
accessory use in the R.S and R-M Districts, and these criteria do
not apply. If more than six persons other than the resident professional
are employed, the use is prohibited.

One on-tract parking space shall be provided for each nonresident
employee, plus three spaces for clients or patients of the professional.
In addition, on-site spaces for the dwelling unit shall be provided
as set forth in Section 33-28(b)(3). The approving authority may reduce
the required number of off-street parking spaces if on-street parking
is available and preferred to blacktopping the subject property or
municipal or other off-street parking is accessible in the immediate
area.

Retail alcoholic beverage distributor. The following specifications
and standards shall apply to premises used, in whole or in part, for
the retail sale of alcoholic beverages under a plenary retail distribution
license, in a district which permits same as a conditional use:

Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to establish general guidelines
for the siting of wireless communications towers and antennas. The
goals of this subsection are to protect residential areas and land
uses from potential adverse impacts of towers and antennas; encourage
the location of towers in nonresidential areas; minimize the total
number of towers throughout the community; strongly encourage the
joint use of new and existing tower sites as a primary option rather
than construction of additional single-use towers; encourage users
of towers and antennas to locate them, to the extent possible, in
areas where the adverse impact on the community is minimal; encourage
users of towers and antennas to configure them in a way that minimizes
the adverse visual impact of the towers and antennas through careful
design, siting, landscape screening and innovative camouflaging techniques;
enhance the ability of the providers of telecommunications services
to provide such services to the community quickly, effectively and
efficiently; consider the public health and safety of communication
towers; and avoid potential damage to adjacent properties from tower
failure through engineering and careful siting of tower structures.
In furtherance of these goals, the Township of Teaneck shall give
due consideration to the Township of Teaneck's Master Plan, Zoning
Map, existing land uses and environmentally sensitive areas in approving
sites for the location of towers and antennas.

Any exterior transmitting or receiving device mounted on
a tower, building or structure and used in communications that radiate
or capture electromagnetic waves, digital signals, analog signals,
radio frequencies (excluding radar signals), wireless telecommunications
signals or other communication signals. Antennas shall further be
classified as whip-type, rectangular- or box-type, metal spine-type
or dish-type.

When referring to a tower, antenna or other structure, the
distance measured from the finished grade of the parcel to the highest
point on the tower or other structure, including the base pad and
any antenna attached thereto.

Any tower or antenna for which a building permit or zoning
permit has been properly issued prior to the effective date of this
subsection, including permitted towers or antennas that have not yet
been constructed so long as such approval is current and not expired.

Any structure that is designed and constructed primarily
for the purpose of supporting one or more antennas for telephone,
radio and similar communications purposes, including but not limited
to self-supporting lattice towers, guyed towers or monopole towers.
The term also includes radio and television transmission towers, microwave
towers, common-carrier towers, cellular telephone towers, alternative
tower structures and the like. The term includes the structure and
any support thereto.

Amateur radio station operators. This subsection shall not govern
any tower, or the installation of any antenna, that is under 35 feet
in height and is owned and operated by a federally-licensed amateur
radio station operator.

AM array. For purposes of implementing this subsection, an AM array,
consisting of one or more tower units and supporting ground system
which functions as one AM broadcasting antenna, shall be considered
one tower. Measurements for setbacks and separation distances shall
be measured from the outer perimeter of the towers included in the
AM array. Additional tower units may be added within the perimeter
of the AM array by right.

Conditional use. Antennas and towers shall be considered conditional
uses in those zone districts which permit towers and antennas as conditional
uses. A different existing use of an existing structure on the same
lot shall not preclude the installation of an antenna or tower on
such lot.

Lot size. For purposes of determining whether the installation of
a tower or antenna complies with district development regulations,
including but not limited to setback requirements, lot coverage requirements
and other such requirements, the dimensions of the entire lot shall
control, even though the antennas or towers may be located on leased
parcels within such lot.

At a tower and/or antenna installation site, the design of the
buildings and related structures shall, to the extent possible, use
materials, colors, textures, screening and landscaping that will blend
them into the natural setting and surrounding buildings.

If an antenna is installed on a structure other than a tower,
the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must
be of a neutral color that is identical to, or closely compatible
with, the color of the supporting structure so as to make the antenna
and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible. In addition,
the antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment must
be screened from view from adjacent properties. The height of such
screening must equal the height of the installed antenna.

Lighting. Towers and antennas shall not be artificially lighted,
unless required by the FAA or other applicable authority. If lighting
is required, the lighting alternatives and design chosen must cause
the least disturbance to the surrounding views.

State or federal requirements. All towers must meet or exceed current
standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC and any other agency
of the state or federal government with the authority to regulate
towers and antennas. If such standards and regulations are changed,
then the owners of the towers and antennas governed by this subsection
shall bring such towers and antennas into compliance with such revised
standards and regulations within six months of the effective date
of such standards and regulations, unless a different compliance schedule
is mandated by the controlling state or federal agency. Failure to
bring towers and antennas into compliance with such revised standards
and regulations shall constitute grounds for the removal of the tower
or antenna at the owner's expense.

Building codes; safety standards. To ensure the structural integrity
of towers, the owner of a tower shall ensure that it is maintained
in compliance with standards contained in the New Jersey Uniform Construction
Code (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-119 et seq.), the applicable standards for towers
that are published by the Electronic Industries Association, latest
edition, and the National Electrical Safety Code for clearance of
utility lines.

All antennas used for the transmission of signals where the
height of the path of the transmission beam is less than 10 feet above
an adjacent walking surface shall be installed with a safety interruption
device capable of stopping the antenna transmissions if any object
comes within the signal path for longer than 0.20 seconds.

Measurement. For purposes of measurement, tower setbacks and separation
distances shall be calculated and applied to facilities located in
the Township of Teaneck irrespective of municipal and county jurisdictional
boundaries.

Not essential services. Towers and antennas shall be regulated and
permitted pursuant to this subsection and shall not be regulated or
permitted as essential services, public utilities or private utilities.

Franchises. Owners and/or operators of towers or antennas shall certify
that all franchises required by law for the construction and/or operation
of a wireless communication system in the Township of Teaneck have
been obtained and shall file a copy of all required franchises with
the Construction Official.

Buildings and support equipment. Buildings and support equipment
associated with antennas or towers shall comply with the requirements
of Subsection (m)(7). No building or support equipment shall be used
for human occupancy other than for routine maintenance of equipment
contained therein.

Cable microcell networks. If a cable microcell network is proposed,
all cables, wires and equipment shall be located so that they do not
interfere with the municipal fire alarm equipment and cable system.
Applications for cable microcell network systems must be reviewed
and approved by the Fire Department and Engineering Department of
the Township of Teaneck as prior approvals before issuance of required
construction permits.

Antennas located on towers. Antennas, for the reception and/or
transmission of signals, located on towers, the tower structures and
equipment cabinets and buildings may be located within the L-I Light
Industry Zone District and within the P Public Land Zone District,
except on property used for private or public school purposes.

Antennas located on utility and light poles. Antennas, for the
reception and/or transmission of signals, mounted on utility and light
poles may be located on any existing utility or lighting pole within
the street right-of-way under the control of the Township of Teaneck
where such street right-of-way is within or adjacent to a nonresidential
zoning district. Whip-type or box-type antennas may be located on
utility and light poles. Dish-type antennas are not permitted to be
mounted on utility or light poles within the street right-of-way.
All equipment cabinets and buildings must be located outside the street
right-of-way and within a nonresidential zoning district, in accordance
with Subsection (m)(7) herein.

Antennas located on buildings. Antennas, for the reception and/or
transmission of signals, mounted on buildings, may be located on any
nonresidential use building within the H Hospital District, L-I Light
Industrial District, U University District, RC-1 Redevelopment Commercial
- Office/Retail District, RC-2 Redevelopment Commercial - Hotel-Motel
District, RC-3 Redevelopment Commercial - Hotel Accessory District
and P Public Land District.

Availability of suitable existing towers, other structures, or alternative
technology. No new tower shall be permitted unless the applicant demonstrates
to the reasonable satisfaction of the municipal board having jurisdiction
that no existing tower, structure or alternative technology that does
not require the use of towers or structures can accommodate the applicant's
proposed antenna. An applicant shall submit information requested
by the municipal board having jurisdiction related to the availability
of suitable existing towers, other structures or alternative technology.
Evidence submitted to demonstrate that no existing tower, structure
or alternative technology can accommodate the applicant's proposed
antenna may consist of any of the following:

The applicant's proposed antenna would cause electromagnetic
interference with the antenna on the existing towers or structures,
or the antenna on the existing towers or structures would cause interference
with the applicant's proposed antenna.

The fees, costs or contractual provisions required by the owner
in order to share an existing tower or structure or to adapt an existing
tower or structure for sharing are unreasonable. Costs exceeding new
tower development are presumed to be unreasonable.

The applicant demonstrates that an alternative technology that
does not require the use of towers or structures, such as a cable
microcell network using multiple low-powered transmitters/receivers
attached to a wireline system, is unsuitable. Costs of alternative
technology that exceed new tower or antenna development shall not
be presumed to render the technology unsuitable.

Dimensional and bulk requirements. All dimensional and bulk requirements
of the zone district in which the wireless communications tower or
antenna is located shall apply except as otherwise provided in Subsections
(m)(6)a through e, inclusive.

Towers located within the P Public Land Zone District must be
set back a minimum of 25 feet from any street line, a minimum of 15
feet from side and rear property lines and 90 feet from any lot within
the R-S Residential Single-Family Detached Zone District which contains
a single-family detached dwelling.

Minimum separation distances between towers located within the
L-I Light Industry Zone District shall be applicable for and measured
between the proposed tower and preexisting towers. The separation
distances shall be measured by drawing or following a straight line
between the base of the existing tower and the proposed base, pursuant
to a site plan, of the proposed tower. The minimum separation distances
(listed in linear feet) shall be as shown in Table 2.

Security fencing. Towers shall be enclosed by security fencing not
less than six feet in height and shall also be equipped with an appropriate
anti-climbing device; provided, however, that the municipal board
having jurisdiction may waive such requirements, as it deems appropriate.

A landscape buffer, in accordance with Section 33-15(s), shall be provided around all tower facilities. Required buffers within the L-I Light Industry Zone District shall not be less than 25 feet in width. Required buffers within the P Public Land Zone District shall not be less than 15 feet in width.

The cabinet or structure shall not contain more than 120 square
feet of gross floor area or be more than eight feet in height. In
addition, the cabinet or structure shall not exceed the maximum allowable
height for principal buildings of the zone district in which the antenna
is located.

If the equipment structure is located on the roof of a building,
the area of the equipment structure, other equipment and structures
and required screening of the antenna and equipment, whether associated
with the antennas or for other purposes, shall not occupy more than
50% of the roof area.

Access to all building-mounted antennas and supporting equipment
shall be secured from the general public. The applicant shall install
and maintain alarms or locks on access hatches and doors providing
access to the antennas, equipment storage buildings and cabinets,
as directed by the Construction Official.

Antennas located on towers. The equipment cabinet or structure shall
not contain more than 200 square feet of gross floor area or be more
than 10 feet in height. When located within the L-I Light Industry
Zone District, all equipment cabinets or structures shall be located
in accordance with the minimum yard requirements of the zoning district
in which located. When located within the P Public Land Zone District,
all equipment cabinets or structures shall be located a minimum of
25 feet from any street line and 15 feet from any side or rear property
line.

Removal of abandoned antennas and towers. Any antenna or tower that
is not operated for a continuous period of 12 months shall be considered
abandoned, and the owner of such antenna or tower shall remove the
same within 90 days of receipt of notice from the Township of Teaneck
notifying the owner of such abandonment. Failure to remove an abandoned
antenna or tower within said 90 days shall be grounds to remove the
tower or antenna at the owner's expense. If there are two or
more users of a single tower, then this provision shall not become
effective until all users cease using the tower.

Not expansion of nonconforming use. Towers that are constructed and
antennas that are installed in accordance with the provisions of this
subsection shall not be deemed to constitute the expansion of a nonconforming
use or structure.

Preexisting towers. Preexisting towers shall be allowed to continue
their usage as they presently exist. Routine maintenance (including
replacement with a new tower of construction and height) shall be
permitted on such preexisting towers. New construction other than
routine maintenance on a preexisting tower shall comply with the requirements
of this subsection.

Rebuilding damaged or destroyed nonconforming towers or antennas.
If any nonconforming antenna or towershall be destroyed by reason
of windstorm, fire, explosion or other act of God or the public enemy
or be altered through construction activities to an extent of more
than 75% of its value, then such destruction or alteration shall be
deemed complete and the structure may not be altered, rebuilt, restored
or repaired except in conformity with the regulations of this chapter.
Construction permits to rebuild a facility shall comply with the then
applicable New Jersey State Uniform Construction Code (N.J.S.A. 52:27D-119
et seq.) and shall be obtained within 180 days from the date the facility
is damaged, destroyed or altered. If no permit is obtained or if said
permit expires, the tower or antenna shall be deemed abandoned as
specified in Subsection (m)(8).

Assisted living facility. The following specifications and standards shall apply to the development of assisted living facilities which are allowed as a conditional use in all zone districts pursuant to this Subsection (n) except for the L-I Light Industry Zone and the RRM Redevelopment Residential Multifamily Zone:

All parking, loading and driveway areas, when located within any
side yard or front yard, shall be no closer than 15 feet to a property
line. All parking, loading and driveway areas, when located within
any rear yard, shall be no closer than 25 feet to a property line.

All driveways shall open onto the secondary arterial street. No driveway
shall open onto a public street within 100 feet of an intersecting
street, measured from the tangents of the adjacent curblines.

A landscape buffer of not less than 25 feet in width shall be provided
along the rear property line and, a similar buffer of not less than
15 feet in width shall be provided along the side property lines.
All landscape buffers shall be installed in accordance with the standards
and specifications as set forth in Section 33-15(s)(2) of this chapter.

The exterior design of any structure used in connection with such
a facility shall conform to the general character of the area. All
buildings shall be constructed with sloping roofs, whose roof pitch
shall be a minimum roof slope equal to five inch rise for each one
foot of run.

Prohibited uses generally. Any use of any building or premises in such a manner that the health, safety, morals or welfare of the community may be endangered is prohibited. The use of a recreational vehicle for human habitation is prohibited, except on the site of a residence rendered uninhabitable by fire or other casualty and for a limited duration of six months from the date of such casualty. In such event, the recreational vehicle shall be inhabited only by the persons displaced by the casualty, after a temporary zoning permit has been issued by the building department pursuant to Chapter 11 of this Code. Travel trailers may be used for construction purposes on construction sites, but no sooner than 30 days prior to commencement of construction and no later than seven days after completion of construction, as determined by the Zoning Officer. A temporary zoning permit shall also be required pursuant to Chapter 11 of this Code.

Signs respecting one- or two-family residential dwellings, not otherwise requiring site plan review, shall be governed by the following provisions. All other signs shall be subject to the provisions of Section 33-18(c), except as noted therein.

Residential nameplate. No more than one nameplate per dwelling unit
shall be permitted, which may be illuminated, must be situated within
the property lines and shall not exceed 72 square inches in area on
any one side.

Not more than one nonilluminated temporary sign per lot may be placed
on the lot for sale or for rent and on no other place, and such sign
may contain the word "owner" and the telephone number or, alternatively,
it may identify by name and up to two telephone numbers the New Jersey
licensed real estate broker, if any, given the right to sell or lease
the property and/or use the word "broker."

The "for sale" or "for rent" sign shall be removed from the premises
within two days after a contract for sale or lease of the premises
has been executed, whether or not contingent upon the happening of
a future event such as a mortgage commitment or subdivision approval.

"Open
house" signs may be located within the public right-of way, but not
upon or within the travel portion of any street or sidewalk, within
a required sight triangle as outlined and defined in Section 33-15(n)(1),
(2) and (3) hereof, or on any pole, tree, fire hydrant, traffic or
parking sign, public waste receptacle, bus shelter or other structure
located within the public right-of-way.

"Open
house" signs must be of a sound construction such as metal "A" frame
design, or metal staked sign, with maximum face size of two feet by
two feet. The signs must identify the real estate broker sponsoring
the open house and include the broker's address and telephone number.

The
real estate broker sponsoring the open house shall be responsible
for complying with the provisions of this subparagraph, particularly
the installation and removal of the sign at the designated times provided
for above.

The
real estate broker sponsoring the open house shall file with the Township
Clerk, prior to the placement of any "open house" signs upon the public
right-of-way, a certificate of insurance evidencing that liability
insurance is in effect in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 and
naming the Township as an additional insured, issued by an insurance
company authorized to do business within the State of New Jersey.
In addition, such broker shall sign and file with the Clerk an indemnification
and hold-harmless agreement, of a form acceptable to the Township
Attorney, agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the Township of
Teaneck, its officers, elected officials, agents, employees and assigns,
from any and all claims, suits, or causes of action for damages or
injuries resulting from the placement of such open house signs upon
the public right-of-way.

Political signs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this or any other section of this Code, there shall not be any
restrictions on the use or placing of political signs on residential
property.

Home professional office signs. No more than one sign per dwelling
identifying the name and profession of the resident shall be permitted,
provided that any such sign shall be affixed to the building, may
only be externally illuminated, may not exceed one square foot in
area on any one side nor exceed 1 1/2 feet in length on any one
side. No other sign or display relating to a home occupation, which
is visible from the outside of the building, is permitted.

Purpose. The purpose of this section is to require off-street facilities
for parking motor vehicles and loading and unloading motor vehicles
in recognition of the fact that the primary function of the public
streets is to move vehicular traffic safely and conveniently, and
that parking, loading and delivery functions performed within the
public street are in conflict with that function. Therefore, this
section requires off-street parking and related facilities for new
development, changes in use and/or occupancy of existing buildings
and expansion of existing buildings, with certain enumerated exceptions
where existing development renders such requirements impractical,
and the close proximity of municipal parking obviates the need for
on-site facilities.

Minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading and unloading.
All off-street parking areas, including driveways, shall be paved
with a dustless, durable, all-weather pavement and shall be adequately
drained. All off-street parking areas, including driveways, accessory
to a one-family or two-family detached dwelling, may be paved with
commercially available unit pavers and shall be adequately drained.
All parking areas, except when accessory to a one-family or two-family
detached dwelling, shall be clearly marked for parking spaces.

In other portions of B-1, MX-1 and MX-2 Districts, the approving
authority shall consider the nearby location of public parking lots
or other parking facilities as a basis for waiving or reducing the
amount of parking to be provided.

Fractional count. When the computation to determine the number of
off-street parking spaces or loading spaces results in a fractional
number, the fractional number shall be rounded upward to the next
whole number.

Unspecified uses. Any use not specified in this section shall comply with the requirement which is applicable to the most similar use, except that the conditional use categories and their criteria, set forth in Section 33-25, contain the minimum requirements for off-street parking and loading and unloading.

Minimum on-site loading and unloading requirements. The minimum number
of spaces set forth below shall prevail for uses that have not attained
the gross floor area required for the first space. Uses not listed
shall provide sufficient spaces, as determined by the approving authority:

Off-tract parking facilities. In the B-1 District only, the off-street
parking requirements of this chapter may be satisfied by providing
the required number of parking spaces in an off-street facility which
is reasonably and conveniently located and not more than three hundred
linear feet from the entrance to the building or use to be served.
Off-street parking in all other districts shall be at least on tract
and may be required to be on site if so stated herein.

Front yards and side yards. In the R-S and R-M Districts, no off-street
parking shall be permitted in a front yard or a side yard except in
a paved driveway providing ingress to and egress from an attached
garage, detached garage or parking space; provided, further, that
no such paved driveway shall be wider than 20 feet in the front yard
and 12 feet in the side yards.

Driveways. Not more than two driveways, each of not more than 30
feet nor less than 20 feet in width, shall be permitted for each 300
feet of frontage on a public street. Driveway width in residential
zones shall be a maximum of 12 feet for a single driveway leading
from the curb cut to a single-car garage or single off-street parking
space for a one-family dwelling. Driveway width in residential zones
shall be a maximum of 20 feet for a driveway leading from the curb
cut to two or more car garages or off-street parking spaces for a
one-family dwelling. No driveway shall be located closer than 50 feet
to astreet intersection. No public street shall be used to provide
direct access to parking spaces.

No fence or wall hereafter erected, altered or reconstructed in the
R-S or R-M Zone District or on lots in any other zone districts on
which buildings occupied for residential purposes are erected (except
in the RR-M Zone) shall exceed four feet in height above ground level
when located in any required front yard area or shall exceed six feet
in height when located in any side or rear yard.

No retaining wall hereafter erected, altered or reconstructed in
any zone district shall exceed four feet in height for each 12 feet
of horizontal distance from a front property line when located within
any required front yard area.

No retaining wail hereafter erected, altered or reconstructed in
any zone district shall exceed six feet in height for each 12 feet
of horizontal distance from a side or rear property line when located
within any required side or rear yard area.

No fence or retaining wall hereafter erected, altered or reconstructed
in any zoning district of the Township shall be located within 25
feet of the intersection of two street lines or within a required
sight triangle as outlined and defined in Section 33-15(n)(1), (2)
and (3).

The cumulative height of fences and retaining walls in any zone district
except the L-I Zone District may be a maximum of six feet in height
for each 12 feet of horizontal distance from a property line. The
cumulative height of fences and retaining walls in the L-I Zone District
may be a maximum of eight feet in height for each 12 feet of horizontal
distance from a property line.

In all zone districts, fences erected in the front yard or a side
and/or rear yard shall have at least one finished side and shall be
erected so that the finished side is facing outward. Fences over two
feet in height located in any front yard area shall be at least 50%
open.

No fence or wall existing or hereafter erected, altered or reconstructed
in any zoning district of the Township shall be electrified or capable
of giving an electric charge or shock such that it will cause harm,
damage or injury to a person, animal or property.

No fence may be erected, altered or reconstructed without a fence permit issued by the Construction Official, upon application forms and procedures established by the Building Department and upon the payment of the fence permit fee established in Chapter 11, Section 11-27.

A guard or dense landscape buffer, a minimum of three feet in height,
shall be provided at the top of all retaining walls, or portions of
walls, which are in excess of four feet in height. The guard or dense
landscape buffer shall separate the top of the wall from any sidewalk,
driveway, path or lawn area which could be used for pedestrian or
vehicular traffic.

All fences must be erected within property lines unless the owners
of adjoining properties mutually agree that a fence may be erected
on their common property line and a maintenance easement agreement
has been filed with the Building Department. No fence shall encroach
on any public right-of-way without approval of such encroachment by
the Township Council.

All fences shall be maintained in a sound, safe and upright condition.
Fencing which violates this section shall be repaired or removed within
15 days of written notification from the Construction Official, which
notice shall state the Construction Official's findings and state
the reasons for such a removal or repair order.

All retaining walls shall be maintained in a sound, safe and upright
condition. Retaining walls which violate this section shall be repaired
or removed within 30 days of written notification from the Construction
Official, which notice shall state the Construction Official's
findings and state the reasons for such a removal or repair order.

Private organization to manage undedicated common open space. In the event that land is to be developed for multifamily housing, or existing multifamily housing is to be converted into condominium or cooperative ownership, resulting in a planned unit residential development or residential cluster which would generate common open space (as defined in Section 33-3), or which would generate common property incidental thereto (such as private streets, parking areas and recreational facilities), and such common open space and/or improvements will not be dedicated to the Township, the developer shall provide for an organization for the ownership and maintenance of such land for the benefit of owners of properties within the development.

Bar on disposition of common open space. The organization shall not
be dissolved and shall not dispose of any common open space or property
incidental thereto by sale or otherwise, except to an organization
conceived and established to own and maintain such common open space
and property for the benefit of such development. Therefore, such
organization shall not be dissolved or dispose of any of its common
open space or property without first offering to dedicate the same
to the Township of Teaneck.

Notice. In the event that such organization shall fall to maintain
the common open space and property in reasonable order and condition,
the Township Council may serve written notice upon such organization
or upon the owners of the development setting forth the manner in
which the organization has failed to maintain the common open space
and property in reasonable condition, and said notice shall include
a demand that such deficiencies of maintenance be cured within 35
days thereof, and shall state the date and place of a hearing thereon,
which shall be held within 15 days of the notice.

Hearing; municipal intervention. At such hearing, the Township Council
may modify the terms of the original notice as to deficiencies and
may give a reasonable extension of time not to exceed 65 days within
which the deficiencies shall be cured. If the deficiencies set forth
in the original notice or in the modification thereof shall not be
cured within 35 days or any permitted extension thereof, the Township
may enter upon and maintain such land in order to preserve the common
open space and properties and maintain the same for a period of one
year. Said entry and maintenance shall not vest in the public any
rights to use the common open space or property, except when the same
is voluntarily dedicated to the public by the owners.

Extension of Township maintenance. Before the expiration of said
year, the Township Council shall, upon its initiative or upon the
request of the organization theretofore responsible for the maintenance
of the common open space or property, call a public hearing upon 15

the district management corporation to administer the funds collected
for the Special Improvement District and implement the Main Street
Program.

The Cedar Lane area from Palisade Avenue to Catalpa Avenue (as more
particularly set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto and made part
hereof)[1] has become the most concentrated center of commercial
activity within Teaneck and is the heart of the central business district.

The retail area along Cedar Lane has certain special needs requiring
additional services not otherwise provided throughout the community,
such as daily litter patrol, the funding of facade improvements, including
signs and awnings, seasonal events attracting shoppers to the area,
holiday lighting and other business attraction activities.

the establishment of a Special Improvement District to assist in meeting
the aforesaid needs, goals and objectives and to be a benefit to the
areas of the Township so designated and set forth in Subsection (c)
